Julia for Generative AI: Mapping Out Phase Diagrams is a new article in Physical Review Letters co-authored by Alan Edelman, JuliaHub co-founder and Chief Scientist and co-creator of Julia. Scientists Use Generative AI to Answer Complex Questions in Physics from MIT News quotes co-author Frank Schäfer:  “The Julia Programming Language, a popular language for scientific computing that is also used in MIT’s introductory linear algebra classes, offers many tools that make it invaluable for constructing such generative models.” Scientists Use GenAI to Uncover New Insights in Materials Science from HPCWire further explains “The Julia Programming Language, known for its outstanding performance in scientific and technical computing, was instrumental in crafting the new ML models. Reportedly, the method published in the paper outperforms other ML techniques in terms of computational efficiency.”

GPU Programming with Julia: A six-hour course on GPU programming using Julia with CUDA.jl is now available. Part 1 and Part 2 can be viewed on YouTube. The course was originally presented November 22-24, 2023 through CSCS, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, at ETH Zurich, and featured Dr. Tim Besard (JuliaHub Software Engineer).
